A new online tool developed by researchers at the University of Louisville promises to speed up the discovery of treatments for brain and nerve tumors, especially rare ones that have had limited research attention.

Science and Exploration

Exploring space around us is an integral part of the human mindset. With modern astronomy we look far into the cosmos and deep into our past, and the spectacular development of Solar System exploration over the last decades has taught us a lot about the “big science questions” we have about its origin, the mechanisms that drive its evolution, and the habitability of its diverse worlds. While this great harvest of discoveries has provided partial answers to these “big questions”, it has also opened new and deeper questions about our relation to the Cosmos that can only be answered by the next waves of exploration missions: we are still far from seeing humankind become an “interstellar species”.
